Synopsis
Fantasies are made of knights in shining armor. Men whose ferocity in battle was tempered by a code of chivalry...whose passions brought them to their knees before the women they desired...whose loyalty and honor never wavered - and whose vows were never broken. These are the men of our dreams. - and now you can find them in four breathtaking Medieval tales by today’s most acclaimed writers of historical romance...
Library Journal
Set during the misty Middle Ages, when brave knights in shining armor rescued fair maidens and chivalry and honor were prized above all things, this quartet of novellas from some of the genre's best-known writers takes the concept of the vow and spins it into four very different yet thematically linked medieval tales. Kurland leads off with "The Traveller," a humorous time travel piece that tosses a modern-day woman back into the life of a 13th-century knight who needs to reclaim his inheritance. Patricia Potter follows with "The Minstrel," her charming story of a lord who promises his dying mother he will only marry for love and becomes a traveling musician in order to find a woman who can make his own heart sing. "The Bachelor Knight," Deborah Simmons's story of a valiant but lowly born knight who is forced to honor an old vow and marry a lady so that she can retain her holdings, and Glynnis Campbell's "The Siege," a romantic tale of a knight and his reluctant intended, unaware of the other's identity and trapped together during an assault on her family's castle, nicely round out the collection. A worthy collection that should appeal to most medieval romance fans. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

July 27, 2002: A Knight's Vow consists of four stories with the same theme - knight's vowing to 'honor and protect helpless women' ends up marrying the 'respsonsibility' they had taken care of. Only the first and the last stories are worth a read. I have been a fan of all Lynn Kurland's time travel series and this story continues to interest me. A must read to add your collection of her time series. The last one, 'the seige' is also a must read for a new author. It is entertaining and caught my attention throughout the story. I wished it were longer. The idea of 'knowing a person's soul first before the body' is an interesting part. And thus I am taking my time to collect all three of Gylnnis Campbell's de ware trilogy. However the two stories in the middle -- 'the minstrel' & 'bachelor knight' were a bore. The minstrel was soo predictable that I could not finish the whole book. I felt like I would make up a better plot than Ms Potter. The concept of the 'bachelor knight' was a good one. However, Ms. Simmons seems to fail at the task of developing a full entertaining and cohesive storyline along the concept. It is like watching the Movie 'Scorpion King' after the two Mummy series that you have to laugh. Although all the ingredients are there, there is just something missing. a good book for bedtime or hospital run read.
